HOUSTON — A Camp County man is suing an employer, alleging he was caused physical injury at a worksite.
Dennis Simmons filed a complaint March 1 in the Harris County District Court against Apache Corporation, alleging gross negligence.
According to the complaint, on March 23, 2018, Simmons was working for Legend Energy Services as a frac hand on a well site operated by Apache.
